Sheer For It Blush Tint
SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
e.l.f.'s Sheer For It Blush Tint is a weightless, longwearing stain for lips and cheeks that feels like nothing on the skin. It has a learning curve on foundation—applying one dot at a time can be patchy, but blending a larger amount in one area works better. The color holds up well for hours, though it's not fully budge-proof and may need reapplication every six hours.
